i say warriors fired up after a loss. defense vs clips was actually pretty good. clips just hit some really tough shots. brand is a monster, and mobley and magette were hot. my only concern for nets is whoever dunleavy guards, but taht should be minimalized by how the warriors have been playing really good team D

I reckon the Warriors will win because they will be fired up after losing and they are also at home.

This is however, a danger game becasue the Nets can explode at any time with Kidd, Carter and Jefferson. With dun as the SF, the Warriors have to hope that whoever he is guarding, VC or RF, will not get hot because that could be the start of a bad night.

Warriors have to drive more becasue they are shooting too many 3s obviously. Baron and JRich have to get to the line more and put pressure on the other team, especially the bigs to defend. That could open up easy baskets for Murphy and even Foyle or guys like Taft around the basket.

I think they have made a collective effort to drive more. I remember seeing the stats on the Clippers game where the warriors were averaging around 25 3pt attempts. They used to have 30!

Besides that though. Murphy has used his shooting threat a couple of times to pump fake opponents and then drive to the hoop. Dunleavy played smarter last game (and is listening to his dad's advice) to step in and take two pointers more and he's hitting those much more consistently. And I don't mind when Jrich and Fisher take open catch and shoot 3's.

BD i'm not gonna argue for because he's got his game and he gets my benefit of the doubt. Maybe he takes 3's to keep the D honest, cuz if i was guarding him, i'd just take a step back b/c BD's more threatening as a playmaker and not as a shooter
